For DUNE (2023), Javier Alvarez looked towards the desert landscapes of the Arabian Peninsula. Like the dunes, ever-changing and ever-present, the sculpture has an aura of movement and steadiness. The artwork’s delicate format draws reference to the tent, the earliest form of architectural shelter, and the heritage of nomad culture. In DUNE, architecture and nature translate into one object made of local granite with two geometrical elements communicating through hollow space.
